The coffee in question was well over 150 degrees when it spilled on the woman's leg. I believe it was close to 190 degrees (that's the temperature the thermostat in your Contour's engine opens, if that gives you an idea of how hot that is).
The point of the case was that the coffee should NOT have been anywhere near that hot, and frankly, I have to agree.

Yeah because no one ever wins a frivolous lawsuit :rolleyes:
Ever hear of McDonalds' coffee?
How about the Stella awards? (Nis provided the past winners for us previously)...
um, you are kidding, aren't you? I thought only one person in the world was that dumb. (well, 13, she was stupid enough to spill the coffee on herself, and 12 jurors couldn't see her stupidity). I see I've wasted my time with you. No convincing the ignorant.
